1. Single Chime - "Master Caution"

3. "Aww dammit"
4. Pick up cell phone
5. Dial Mx Control
6. MEL it
7. Fly knowing you won't have the FAA crawling up your ass for not following procedure.
Seriously, the ONLY thing I ever reset is the ACARS if I have to. I hesitate to do that too, because I'd rather call mx control and get a control number that way it's off my shoulders. It's just a little CYA. My certificates are more important than leaving 5 minutes earlier.
After flying the 700 though, you get real good at clearing SLATS HALFSPEED and FLAPS HALFSPEED and SPOILER/STAB FAULT by doing the LRU rigging in the Mx Screen and doing the Spoiler/Stab test. I have all those procedures written down, but they are in my flight bag which aren't with me. Sorry!
